March To The Sound Of Losing Weight By Stepping
Dieters must find ways to burn off calories if they wish to continue losing further weight. We often think about what type of exercise must be done to acheive extra calorie burning, and also how long do we need to exercise for?
There is one easier way to guide how much exercise is enough, this is to count steps instead of minutes of exercising. Counting steps is much better than thinking about performing some kind of workout every day.
All you need is a cheap pedometer and atach it to your side for the day. It counts how many steps you've made in a day. Experts recommend we step around the 10,000 per day mark, but this really will depend on how many steps you're taking at the moment. For instance, if you count only 3,000, then simply try to increase this amount by 500 per day for a week. You can gradually build up the daily total over several months until you reach about 10,000 per day. At this point you should start to see some good weight loss results within a few months, as your calorie burning would have been dramatically boosted. Of course, this is providing that your diet is balanced and has a negative calorie balance to enable you to lose weight.
Counting steps to lose weight is much easier than thinking about going to the gym for 50 minutes of sweat and pain, then having to do it all again a few days later. Who wants that?
One of the problems with completing your calorie burning with steps alone is the potential for injury. Consistent walking will place lots of strain on your joints, especiall the knees and ankles. For this reason, check with your doctor before increasing your daily step number. You may need to balance steps with some non weight bearing activity.
